Good thread. I've been annoyed by people parroting "NATO" and "2014 coup", when it's clear that the real problem for Russia was that they lost control via corruption over Ukrainian politics in 2014 and decided to prevent it from getting its act together and getting closer with EU https://t.co/jE6lVPCQRe

This seems very likely to me. NATO is just a pretext. Other explanations make more sense.
